Assuming you mean in regular expressions ("grep patterns"), yes,
of course. BBEdit uses PCRE search patterns (PCRE == "Perl
Compatible Regular Expressions").
Include (?s) in your search pattern , or enclose the relevant
portion of it with (?s: [your sub-pattern here]). Note the colon
(':') in the latter.
From the manual (p 186):
s — By default, the magic dot metacharacter . matches any
character except return ("\r"). If you turn this option on with
(?s), however, dot will match any character. Thus, the pattern
(?s).+ will match an entire document.
HTH.
